RECALL- Chrysler Recall For Transmission Output Shaft

Auburn Hills, Mich. December 6, 2013; Chrysler Group LLC will recall an
estimated 5,663 cars and trucks to inspect their automatic
transmissions.

Output shafts installed in some model-year 2013 vehicles were shaped
using a two-stage forging method employed during early production. The
resulting components may be subject to fracture in rare circumstances.

The process has been replaced by a single-stage forging method.

Chrysler Group is unaware of any associated injuries or accidents.

The recall is limited to certain Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram
1500 models equipped with a specific set of features and equipment: 4x4 or
all-wheel drive, an 8-speed transmission and a V-6 engine. Chrysler Group
will inspect and test their transmission output shafts and, if necessary,
replace their transmission assemblies at no cost to customers.

Affected customers number approximately 4,194 in the U.S., 1,424 in
Canada and 45 outside the NAFTA region. They will be notified when to
schedule service appointments with their dealers.
